Kieran Morrison Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi, Got my rockman built today and at first part of one link of the chain was touching the frame. Managed to get that sorted by using a freewheel spacer and the sprocket run the opposite way. However, it's fine when the bike is rolling but when i kick or land something the chain bounces up and hits the frame slightly. Is there any way to fix this or is this normal on these frames (manus 2) and i just need to put a carbon sticker- thingy or another chainstay protector on the upper chainstay. Will upload pictures if needed/ Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Morrison Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Cool, thought it might be as i always here the same noise it makes in videos of dual disc riders, cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 My rockman does it too. Chain on the seat stay. Just got a neopreen guard on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 What's a neopreen guard? If it works I'll invest in one!I've seen some carbon sticker things at halfords - would they be ok for protecting the area? And also slightly OT but would they be any good for chain stay protection or would they just get eaten through? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
